Hug the kids and love them. They need to lean into you now, more than ever, in order to get through this. You have to push your own grief over the situation to the side. It is not easy, I know. I try not to get emotional in front of the kids. IT is too damaging for them. I tell them, repeatedly if need be, that we will all be fine, that God's grace is sufficient for any trial in life. They know that God always loves them, is always faithful, and they are leaning into His strength, also.
As for all the empty space---SHOPPING TRIP!!
